Re: calling it quits? (turbo game)
the thing that keeps me going peicing my kit together is the tease i got from last summer...had the car boosted for 5-10 miles on a decent tune and loved it to death....took it to a tuning shop to get it all fine tuned...and BOOM!....just now putting the car back together after getting a new engine and ect...but almost have my new turbo setup complete...

Re: calling it quits? (turbo game)
it took me a year to piece all my ---- together. had some transmission problems that gave me some down time on the car anyways and slapped it all on. was suprised at how easy it was to put it all together and make it work. i could not believe the feeling when i first hit boost. but the bad part about it is its never enough. been boosted for 2 months on my stock motor and bought a ls motor and a vtec head and collecting parts for the swap and forged internals to make it last.
